Couplings and spectra in modular inflation

Abstract

We analyze how the spectrum of perturbations produced in a multi-component modular inflation model proposed by Kadota and Stewart depends on couplings between the two moduli. Although some simple direct couplings give essentially the same results as the original model, $dn/d\ln k \propto n-1$, simple indirect couplings produce a power law spectrum, $n-1 = \textrm{constant}$, which can naturally be close to scale invariant.Comment: 11 pages, format changed, some corrections of formula
